>>103061671
stop shilling this garbage distro
if it was actually good everyone would be using it

>>103062256
It's already one of the most popular distros around. I just like talking about it.

Lol. Cinnamon rekts them hard. Well worth the slightly higher resource usage.

Hello newfriend. Its cool you gave linux a go but the best distro of all time is fedora.

/thread

>>103063053
It's actually pretty decent considering it's based on ubuntu.
It's like ubuntu minus all the things that make ubuntu suck.

And which distro is top tier feature-wise?
>>103063140
KDE is a buggy mess plus canonical snap retardation. Mint is the new ubuntu.

>>103063233
I have never encountered any bugs with KDE and Mint has weird icons.

>>103063246
Kde is filled to the brim with little bugs, graphical and latency issues. These things add up over time and ruin the experience.
>Mint has weird icons
Just install whatever icon theme you want.

>>103063281
Why doesn't Mint use standard/official icons by default?

Also Mint has a weird slow-moving favorites bar in the start menu.

>>103063345
>Why doesn't Mint use standard/official icons by default?
Which ones exactly? By default you have multiple options
>Also Mint has a weird slow-moving favorites bar in the start menu.
Nope. Meanwhile plasma's glitches out if I move my cursor a bit fast.

>>103063400

Is the software availability on suse any good? I know people bitch about the repository being small and zypper being a slow package manager.

>>103064204
It's actually not as small as I thought. I never noticed it before but after I started using it there's often a package for openSUSE. You know, when some website offers only DEB and RPM of their software, they actually mention openSUSE too under that RPM option.
Like

DEB (Ubuntu/Debian), RPM (Fedora, openSUSE)

Also I have no problem using Flatpaks or Appimages or maybe even Snaps which don't have to be tailored for openSUSE specifically.

>>103063852
>I use openSUSE
do you hate conservatives too?

>>103064445
Yeah I know flatppaks or even distrobox could solve this but I would prefer native packages. I used tumbleweed for a shortwhile on my old pc and it was a really positive experience, especially considering it's a rolling release. If I buy a new pc I might install tumbleweed again. Is KDE on it stable and not buggy?

>>103064892
KDE is the reason I use openSUSE, some distros treat it poorly and don't patch the bugs fast enough. It's still KDE so there might be something but I've been happy with it.

>>103063845
>NOO STOP POINTING OUT MINT FLAWS ITS PERFECT EVERYTHING ELSE IS BUGGY AND CRAP NOT LIKE MINT IT HAS NO CONS!!!
Fuck, this is grim. Since when are mintrannies worse than the arch ones?

>infected isos

Use windows instead.

>>103065998
You are confused if you think they care about their own security, the fact they voluntary installed this garbage tells a lot about their intelligence.
Watch them cope about it ignoring this as usual or denying it. Their usual excuse? "but it was long time ago so its ok now uwu"
Pathetic.

>>103066020
I'm guessing somebody backdoored it or something. That is probably why the spam about it here is so fucking annoying.

Bump

>>103065967
Who are you quoting schizo?

>>103064204
It seems to be large. My software is there and on the latest version. I wasn't the one that added it. The only other distro that has my software in official repos is nixos. And I maintain an aur package for it.

For me it's Opensuse Tumbleweed XFCE
But Mint is nice too

>>103064204
It's good enough for me. Some things like special fonts, Intel Clear Sans in this case, have to be installed via opi, and there is no tldr in the repos last I checked, but tealdeer instead.

Also the installs are quite bloated, unless you use XFCE version or build your own DE install. GNOME comes with 2 terminals plus gconf editor and icewm fallback for example, KDE Version isn't much better.

>>103067904
>>103070504
>>103070536
I was thinking on using tumbleweed(the xfce varient) for some time now. I'm in gradschool for data science essentially so I would like the latest stuff linux has to offer and the gecko is the only viable rolling release distro it seems.

>>103071375
Chameleon* I mean it's not a fucking gecko

>>103071375
Fedora is semi rolling and also great. Arch can also be if you set up some fallbacks like enabling timeshift or snapshots.

Bad bait

I'm certainly enjoying Linux Mint 22 a LOT more than Linux Mint 19.
Other than the annoying installation bug on older non-EUFI hardware, but I figured it out.

>>103075546
*UEFI

>>103075546
>Other than the annoying installation bug on older non-EUFI hardware
Yeah my 22 is goofy on the old Core 2 duo laptop as well, it takes like 30 seconds of black screen before the HDD light starts blinking and than my SSD boots is fast as shit, doesn't make any sense but it's the best OS going for older stuff because Windows fucking sucks.

I don't know why, but I was never able to get videos to play on the laptop I had Linux Mint 19 installed on. I had VLC installed but it just wouldn't play anything.
Now that I upgraded the thing to LM22 it just works perfectly.
It's a 2nd Gen i3 bit 17'' Dell with just Intel Graphics. I got it for super cheap years ago because it was dropped and has case damage but the hinge still works perfectly. It's a fun laptop to learn Linux on.

Is it worth me installing Mint on my gaming pc currently on Ubuntu LTS? Any benefits in terms of drivers?

>>103075649
Linux Mint basically is Ubuntu LTS, so if you're happy where you're at, you're not gaining much.

What did Mint mean by this? Ubuntu 24.04 hangs up too but it will eventually just boot normally, I think the kernel's fucked up or something, I've even swapped USB sticks and it's not that, since mint is bitching about no filesystem being found and something about url boot, meanwhile thay same USB worked on a 2008 laptop this morning.

>>103077412
I noticed mint 22 also bugging out when booting into a live USB but the process works out in the end.

>>103077716
That's what's so bizarre, sometimes it will boot up and even install on my SSD, and then shit itself intermittently and sometimes work fine once it's on the SSD, they need to get on this shit because an FX-8350 and a 750Ti is not an abnormal piece of hardware, luckily Mint works fine on my daily i7-8700 that I reluctantly built on the cheap during my Windows 10 experiment to see if I could live with it post Win7 (it sucked), but imagine if I hadn't put this thing together before switching to Mint full time, I'd be in real trouble right now.

>>103061671
Literary stuck on lowest resolution and had 10 fps in my vidya, what gives?

>>103077763
Eh, who the fuck knows. It works on your main rig so don't think about it too hard. I also jumped ship from win10 to Mint. I finally felt like I was back home. It really is a spiritual successor to win7.

I just fsck /dev/sdb5 -y again for the 4th time this past 30days, is there a way to automate this task since I swap between winshit and mint frequently.

>>103061671
How can I properly disable mouse acceleration? The tickbox doesn't work.
Why is steam missing a bunch of UI menus in Linux?
When I use Davinci Resolve, I can't maximize it to the edge of the screen. There's no toolbar?
